Analysis of incubus - succubus
As I look and I see the snakes!
They fallow me reminding me…
“You will fail boy”
I continue to fall, hurt mentally.
“You will die for chasing what you love”
I see my life flash by remembering so little.
My past is a blur,
It continues to stir.
Day by day they circle above.
Taunting me, scaring me.
“You are no good”
I think I’ll never measure up.
“you are a disgrace”
I doubt I’ll even measure up to anything good
Cacodemon! Why won’t you leave?
Abaddon! Why do you haunt me?
I am trapped inside,
Going mad inside.
Oh, Angle of the Abyss…
My freedom I now miss.
